Having been described in previous years as “punchy” and “pugilistic”, it’s a genuine pleasure to have my advocacy recognised in Chambers and Partners as compassionate and empathetic. It goes to show that you can be every bit as effective without any need for aggression in court.

It's always nice to be recognised in the Legal 500, where I'm ranked in the 2026 edition as a leading junior in the areas of crime, fraud, and police law. Thanks to my solicitors and referees for your kind words!

It’s nearly time for me to leave New College, Oxford for another year. There are many things I’ll miss, but most of all I’ll miss the thrill and privilege of spending time with the most extraordinarily talented cohort of international human rights lawyers and academics. Here’s to 2026!

Enjoying a superb performance of Die Walküre at the Royal Opera House this evening. A reminder of the benefits to having interests outside of the day job!
